🍈The ideal retreat season runs from March to September, with warmth and dry weather (almost) guaranteed. From October to
February, the weather in our part of Portugal becomes unpredictable—it could be warm and dry or pouring rain. If you’re not afraid of rain, October-February is a great time to visit. It’s not really cold. We could walk outside in the sun with T-shirts on. It’s the perfect season to escape those harsh end-of-year deadlines or simply soak up some sunshine. Here, if it’s not raining, the sun is almost always shining!
🍈 We want to show you how nature, walking, and mindful activities can positively impact your health. That’s why we aim to make this as accessible as possible. We are practical, down-to-earth and not overly spiritual. The price is €450 per person and it doesn’t include tickets, and the transport to Coimbra by bus or train.
If you book via our website we pick you up as a group in Coimbra and bring you back on the last day. We value you as an individual, which is why we don’t require a minimum number of participants. Let’s try our best to have a full house. If you like to do this privately, it is possible for an extra fee.
🍈The reservation is only finalized after a deposit of half the amount (€225). The remaining balance is to be transferred or settled before or on the day of arrival.
🍈In case of cancellation more than 1.5 weeks in advance, this deposit will be refunded in the form of a voucher for a 3-day private stay, or we can reschedule your retreat for a different date. Talk to us when something happens a 1,5 week before your retreat, normally no refund will be provided, but let’s try to find a solution.
We’ve noticed that our pilgrims keep walking every day, no matter the weather—rain or shine. Why not follow their lead? Focus and go-for-it. It is about you and your me-time!
But if you’re flexible, booking a week in advance based on the weather forecast is the best way to ensure a full outdoor experience.

Even in January with night frost, when the above photo’s are taken, it is comfortable to do exercises outside in the sun. It is not cold. Luckily this year 2025 is the first time we had a lot of sun in December and January. The past three years during this time of the year, we had a lot of rain.
🍋 A Path Walked with Purpose
We’ve walked this path before you—taking mindful steps in our mind and through the beauty of nature. We climbed the Giant Brothers mountains, sometimes challenged, but always feeling stronger after trying. Along the way, we found moments of peace and a renewed sense of energy to face the challenges of ordinary life.
If this path of mindfulness helped us, it can surely do the same for you. It’s not about perfection—it’s about taking the time, one step at a time, to reconnect with yourself and consequently with others around you. You’ve got this, and we’re here to guide you on this journey.
